answer text: There is no record of the quantity of Iraqi military equipment destroyed using depleted uranium (DU) ammunition by UK armed forces.There is no requirement for and no central records are held of military equipment destroyed by UK armed forces beyond that for necessary operational analysis.In the UK area of operations, the practice was for destroyed, broken down and abandoned equipment to be secured at the Al Basrah International and Shaibah airfields. Control of this equipment and of any that may remain elsewhere is the responsibility of the Government of Iraq. Details relating to other coalition forces are matters for them alone.Our own reports and scientific consensus conclude DU intakes are only likely to be a concern for those in or on vehicles at the time they are struck by DU munitions or for those who enter immediately afterwards.
